Modeling cyanobacteria blooms and toxin production under climate change

under the reserve that funds are granted

Faculty III - Institute of Environmental Technology / Water Quality Engineering
Reference number: III-579/21 (starting at 01/01/22 / until 31/12/24 / closing date for applications 19/11/21)

Deadline = Nov. 11, 2021

Working field: The research will focus on the effect of climate change on cyanobacteria growth and toxin production, which are expected to increase in a warmer and drier climate. The aim is to develop quantitative forecasts for various climate scenarios as well as mitigation strategies. Tasks include: Analyzing historical data on water quality with a special focus on cyanobacteria; Compilation of relevant lake data, like bathymetry, flow rate, temperature, etc.; Extension/modification of an existing mathematical model; Application of the model to historical data and future scenarios. Possibly additional data will be collected, depending on the available data and model needs, which may include phytoplankton cell counts and toxin concentrations. There will be a close collaboration with other CliWaC (description below) projects focusing watershed and groundwater hydrology, and lake physics. The Einstein Research Unit Climate and Water under Change (CliWaC) is a transdisciplinary research initiative of the Berlin University Alliance to address water-related risks under climate change. CliWaC will bring together social and natural science as well as practical expertise from stakeholders to support the governance of mitigation and adaptation measures in response to climate change. Further job announcements of CliWaC will be published at: www.cliwac.de/jobs

Requirements: Successfully completed university degeree (Master, Diplom or equivalent) and PhD in Environmental Sciences or Engineering with a focus on water quality or a related field; experience in the development and/or application of water quality models (e.g. programming skills, numerical methods); very good written and oral English skills, godd command of German; interest in inter- and transdisciplinary research; versatile and dedicated person who can work
independently and make original contributions.
